Does Seizure Disorder Cause Fibromyalgia?

Yes please, I think I may have had a seizure yesterday, this was the second time on a month. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and the last test were pointing towards lupus also. This is what happened; it felt like my wars were clogged and my vision kind of went black for a I think just a split second, then was blurry. I felt a vibration in my head and felt like I was in a fog. I was standing and felt weak but did not fall. I think it was just seconds but I m not really sure because it was so foggy in my head. I don t know how to explain it other than foggy!

Hi
I dont know what you subjectively describe fogginess and blackness to be a seizure, it has to be diagnosed by EEG and scans by a neurologist.Generally, convulsions, passing out, tremors are seizure symptoms.Acute Fibromyalgia symptoms may produce the symptoms not necessarily a seizure, which is a separate disease, its another matter that both disease process are there, but it needs confirmation.If seizure is diagnosed, there are different drugs needed to treat for long term, but why worry..it may not be...you may be requiring just Fibromyalgia treatment alone
Best wishes
